We share information through our website and people from different cities.” He supports us. We are trying to get more money and support from the volunteers.” he replied.

His response to “What can the international film and TV community do to help?” is “The creative industry can support us. Artists are sensitive people and they support us. Turkish TV series are watched in more than 120 countries and this can give us an extra advantage because the world knows our culture. They know us. Our mentalities are very similar. We need their support. We need our fellow actors and artists around the world to raise money to support our efforts.” it happened.
